Gravitation : Not equal!

Negative for antimatter!

Anti-matter as Dark Energy

• Causes anti-gravitational fields and effects because of negative mass

• Is dark because it cannot form stars• Will distribute itself because it self-repels• Will be between galaxies and repels them

(accelerated expansion of the universe)

Explains missing anti-matter in the universe

• Equal amounts of matter and anti-matter could have been produced at the start of the universe.

• Anti-matter is just hidden as Dark Energy, and away from us because it repels everything (and annihilates and disappears easily near matter like in a galaxy)

Predicts CP-Violation

Predicted by standard model/QED:

Experimentally (upper limit cosmological constant):

Solves Vacuum-energy problem

Vacuum energy is related to quantum fluctuations in the vacuum

Always equal amount of (virtual) particles and anti-particles in the vacuum

Anti-gravitational fields of antiparticles cancel gravitational fields of the particles (in

the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum), so is in agreement with experimental value.

Solves Vacuum-energy problem

Anti-particles follow geodesics so are predicted to fall down on Earth

Prediction that (neutral) antiparticles will gravitationally repel each other

It is proposed to test and measure this experimentally
